I had 08tls and it was an understeering pig. Horrid chassis with 70% of the weight over front axle. The engine seized at 72k mi. Also had 03 tls and it was ok dd but another understeering pig. xmsn died at 95k but was covered due to class action law suit. It seems to me they are using sh awd to mask budget chassis but I'll wait until more details are available. This should have come out 5-7 years ago and they should have developed rwd chasssis by now. |

What makes you call this a "budget" chassis? Is this purely because it's not RWD, or is there some other reason?

"Around $45k" for the Type S sounds pretty good considering there probably won't be a lot of expensive options, and this car is larger than a 330i xDrive, and has 100 more HP despite being around the same price.

I'm betting fully loaded it will be 56-60k. Unless Acura does a we can offer S4 performce at G70 prices as that is 54k loaded.

Even a full-tilt Q50 is 62k, XE 63k, CT5 63k, S60 66k, S4 67k, C43 68k, M40xi 68... The only outliner is the G70 at 54k- If a fully loaded Type is is low 50s it will be a steal for sure. Then again 2020 IS350 is 52k... curious to see what the 21 is priced at but it isn't competitive anymore Last edited by DocWeatherington; 08-04-2020 at 09:16 AM.. |

The above is why I think a loaded Type S is PRICED like a loaded 330i xDrive or A4... OR a stripped/base M340i or S4. This makes sense to me.

Unless Honda has made some serious modifications to their 10 speed auto it's probably going to be a weak point vs vehicles sporting the ZF8. Lots of reports about harsh shifting.

Acura isn't targeting Genesis or even Lexus, it's after the Germans. Only time will tell if it's worth it. Honda has done a good job on the current-gen accord. Last edited by DocWeatherington; 08-20-2020 at 12:06 PM.. |

Most cars now the reliability isn't in powertrain its in the new tech/features- software. I agree Honda needs an RWD platform. But, I think they will follow the Audi path and FWD with AWD as an option. The elephant in the Japanese room is Madza and the rumored Inline 6 RWD Mazda 6. |

Mazda is the biggest underdog in the market who I truly root for. Luckily they have Toyota backing them (and they have stake in Mazda) so they'll stick around for a while, but they make some great cars. My son loves them, he has a 6 Signature, and NB Miata, and he bought the wife a CX-9, all excellent cars. A RWD+I6 Mazda6 will be a game changer for sure, I will put my money where my mouth is if everything works out well. |
